About us:

The "Give a Toy Get a Smile" program was initiated by Nancy and Andrew Myers from the American Smile Clinic and Joe and Janet Cerutti from (the now Closed) club MY PLACE, both in Cancun. Nancy Myers is a Registered Nurse that has been actively involved in Community Service projects since moving to Cancun over 9 years ago. Janet and Joe Cerutti have also been involved in various projects dedicated to fund-raising for charitable causes. Both couples are from New York. In New York, the highly successful "Toys for Tots" program was designed to have people donate toys for less fortunate children. There would be certain drop-off sites and many toys were collected. We are basing our project on this program and have had worldwide recognition and participation! Along with the support of local businesses and volunteers, we are set to continue growing in our efforts to put SMILES on more and more of the less fortunate children in the area.

With general questions or comments we invite you to post at the CancunCare message board's topic for Give a Toy, Get a Smile.
